1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 139 As long as the method is right, a small boat can be compared to a tugboat

 Saw so many balang fish and small tubes.

Chen Dongqing picked up the net and fished all the fish to the deck.

 Looking at the boat full of balang fish and countless small tubes, Chen Dongqing frowned and asked:

 “Are these all going to be divided?”

Li Duoyu looked at a fool and asked, "Would the fishmonger be so kind as to give you some?"

 Chen Dongqing shook his head.

"Then it's over. If you don't hurry up, the next net will come again later."

 “Aren’t you here to help?”

 “How is it possible? I am old now.”

Li Duoyu was about to say boss, but he held back because boss is a homophone to "Laoban", and this word has a specific meaning.

It means that something happened to a fishing boat and it was broken into pieces of wooden planks by the wind and waves at sea. Everyone went to help fish out people, which was called "fishing out the planks".

At this time, the sampan boat was also called Sandaban. The main body was composed of three large boards. Calling it boss meant cursing other people's fishing boats for being old and old, which was very unlucky.

 When going fishing at sea, people generally don’t call others boss, but the boss of the boat.

Li Duoyu changed his words and said: "I am the boss of the ship, so of course it is you who do the work."

 Chen Dongqing thought for a while and felt that it made sense, but after thinking about it, it felt wrong. He glanced at Li Duoyu, who was smoking in Youzaiyouzai, and threw a small tube that had not yet sprayed ink on the spot.

“Uncle, I am still your uncle. Come over here and help your uncle quickly, or I will spy on you while Xiaoying takes a shower...”

Li Duoyu turned sideways to avoid the attack from the small tube: "Damn it, you are talking about this again, can you change it and wait until I finish smoking?"

“Do you know what it means to eat it all over the world with one trick? My hands are too sticky, so order one for me too.”

Li Duoyu ordered some roots for his uncle and started to help sort them.

 The main reason is that my uncle's hand speed is too slow. With his hand speed, he may not be able to finish the portioning in half an hour.

 After Li Duoyu joined.

 In less than five minutes, hundreds of Balang fish and small tubes were divided.

At this time, many fishermen fishing for small pipes nearby came over on sampans. After seeing Li Duoyu’s equipment, they all asked:

 “What the **** is this?”

 “How can we catch fish like this?”

Cousin Li Shuguang, who was also fishing for small pipes, drove over in his ten-meter-long fishing boat and asked:

 “Duoyu, who are you?”

As soon as the big fishing boat came over, Balangyu and Xiaoguan were frightened. Coupled with the interference from the light sources of other fishing boats, most of them dispersed at once.

“Damn it, you scared my fish away, please put out your lights and engines quickly.”

 Listen to what Li Duoyu shouted.

Everyone turned off the lights one after another and quietly looked at Li Duoyu's magical new gadget.

 Probably another ten minutes passed.

The school of fish gathered under a dozen lanterns again, with Balang fish jumping around constantly, and a few hairtail fish secretly eating the little pipefish.

Li Duoyu saw that it was almost done, so he slowly pulled the rope. After the four corners of the net surfaced, he quickly pulled it up.

 Suddenly all kinds of sea fish in the net were scurrying around and jumping around.

The small tube was so nervous that he kept spitting out ink.

　　　“What the hell.”

 Everyone made a visual inspection and found that there were at least five to six hundred Balang fish, small tube fish, and various other miscellaneous fish.

 The fishermen present were so shocked that they ate the essence of the Chinese nation in every mouthful.

 Because the catch from this net felt like it was more than the small tubes they fished all night.

 A fisherman nicknamed "Stone" was so excited that he could not speak incoherently.

 “Many fish.“

 “No, Brother Yu, Grandpa Yu…”

“How do you do this? Can you teach me how to do it?”

Li Shuguang was also stupid.

He hired two brothers, Yuan Guang and Qing Guang, to help him today. He thought he would be the most handsome guy in the whole sea today, but he didn't expect that Li Duoyu would steal the limelight again.

This net only lasted for ten minutes, and the number of tuberculosis caught was more than the three of them could catch in an hour.

 “This is your uncle’s.”

Qing Guang on the fishing boat became jealous on the spot after seeing so many fish and rebelled directly.

“Brother Duoyu, I’m going to help you now, is it still too late?”

Chen Dongqing hummed.

“I still want to get on the bus halfway, but it’s impossible. It’s full and there’s no room for you.”

 “Ask for a pit.”

 “There’s no more pitfalls.”

 After seeing so many fish, Chen Dongqing felt pained and happy at the same time. She quickly picked up the net and started catching fish.

 But after doing such a simple movement many times in succession, Chen Dongqing felt that his waist was about to break.

 Fuck it, just copy a fish.

How can I be so tired? He just rubbed his waist twice.

Li Qingguang, who was on the big boat, said: "Uncle Duoyu, if your waist doesn't work, just replace it with me. Believe me, I can catch fish very fast and powerfully."

Chen Dongqing choked back and said: "A young cow like you can only be powerful for two or three minutes. How can it be compared to an old cow like us? Although it is slow, the price is long-lasting."

When Chen Dongqing said this, the fishermen who were watching laughed: "That makes sense, then let me, an older cow, give it a try."

Li Duoyu on the side twitched the corner of his mouth, looking like he was offended.

 Chen Dongqing said seriously:

“Don’t even think about it, I will make the money today.”

Chen Dongqing spit into the palm of his hand and then continued to fish.

Some fishermen present joked: "If we catch too much and the fishing boat cannot load it, we can put it on our boat."

 “Hahaha, my fishing boat is still empty too.”

After everyone watched for a while, they all felt that this little pipe-catching thing was too powerful, and they all said to Li Duoyu.

“Duoyu, we are all so familiar with it, you have to teach us how to make this thing tomorrow.”

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Okay, do you need to charge a patent fee?"

 “Patent fees? What is this?”

Li Duoyu suddenly looked at his uncle and saw that he was still fishing hard, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He accidentally said a very advanced word just now.

 Then he said nonsense to everyone: "It means you have to pay study fees."

 “Damn, you kid, why are you talking about money these days?”

 “Not yet poor.”

“You poor devil, don’t cry out that you are poor all day long. Everyone knows that you have deposited your money in a credit union, and no one has stolen it from your house.”

“I will go to your door early tomorrow morning to block you.”

 “Aren’t you afraid that I will let the dog bite you?”

 “Your dog is still on the fishing raft.”

 “I’ll take it back in the evening.”

 “Damn it, then I’ll bring my Dahuang.”

 “You are cruel.”

While chatting with everyone, Li Duoyu caught another net. As a result, everyone became more and more uncomfortable, and they were so jealous that they almost shed tears.

 Just ignore it and go fishing for the small pipe.

 After a while, two small sampans with oars approached. It was the neighbors Lao Hu and Chen Wenchao.

Lao Hu looked at Li Duoyu’s strange fishing equipment, and then looked at the basket full of balang fish and small tubes, and was a little confused.

 “There are many fish, how long have you been fishing for these fish?”

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "It didn't take long, almost an hour."

 “Catch so many in one hour?”

Lao Hu felt that unless a tugboat was used, he really didn't believe it, but when he saw Li Duoyu raising the net, he smiled awkwardly.

Hurryly, he took the scale and with the help of Chen Wenchao, he picked up the Balangyu and started weighing it.

 “This basket weighs 75 jins.”

 “This basket weighs 83 jins.”

“I took two cents from you. The total is three dollars and sixteen cents. I’ll give you three dollars and two.”

Hearing this price, Chen Dongqing was stunned for a moment. He worked so hard to get the land and took so long to divide it, but these two baskets were only sold for 3.2 yuan.

But balang fish is cheap.

 Fortunately, small tubes are not that cheap.

This kind of small seafood is very popular when it is in season. It can be sold for two cents per catty, which is ten times the price of Balang fish.

 After weighing.

 Lao Hu moved the Balangyu to his fishing boat and originally wanted to sail away first.

Li Duoyu said, "Don't leave in a hurry. The next net seems to be full of Balang."

 After Li Duoyu raised the net.

On the sea surface illuminated by the lanterns, all the sea fish with colorful scales are jumping, most of them are Balang fish, there are also big fish (horse mackerel) and a few larger smokers, but there are not many small fish.

 After seeing the fish harvested in this net, Chen Dongqing couldn't help but cursed: "Damn, it's unlucky, there are so few small managers, this net is losing money."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other three people stared at him, and Lao Hu frowned and reminded:

“Holly, we fishermen should not talk nonsense when we are out at sea.”

Li Duoyu also had a headache. Fishermen in this era were still very particular. In addition to not being able to yell at the boss, even if they caught trash fish, they could not dislike those who talked nonsense.

 Chen Dongqing realized it then, smiled awkwardly, and quickly bowed to the Tianhou Palace on the island, muttering: "Bless me, Mazu. I accidentally said the wrong thing, so don't blame me."

  Immediately afterwards,

 Pick up the fishing net and get to work quickly.

Please give me some monthly tickets.
